when californians buy something on amazon or best buy, those companies already include sales tax. so the senate bill would empower states to collect sales tax from any online purpose. ebay is one of the few companies against it saying it hurts small business. the law as written would exempt companies to do less than $1 million in sales outside their home state state. small business seems a bit bigger than you might have expected. there are lots of reasons not to like taxes. bottom line, in many cases, you were already paying them. in every case, you were ez spoed to supposed to be paying them. states and cities could collect $22 billion in new tax. the big business storiry y is g to be apple. investors are in a bad mood. no matter what the quarterly numbers are, do watch for apple to be pessimistic about business going forward.

"today in the bay's" bob redell live at moffatt field.

the pilots are there. they can only get one at a time. he will be doing the test flight. you have to go very wide when you want to look at this airplane. it's wingspan is wider than a 747. one reason why it is so wide, you have all the solar cells that are going to be powering it. it will have 12,000 solar cells that allows it to fly, not only during the day but at night on batteries that have been charged by the sun. it only travels about 40 miles an hour. if you can imagine, they are going to try to do this cross couldn't interest i flight. it is going to take up five legs, 24 hours, nonstop, each leg, as we've been saying all morning long. yes, it would be possible for the plane to fly from san francisco to new york city, the

final destination. of course, one man by himself can not stay awake that long. they are going to leave here at moffatt field. they will be landing tonight. during this flight, you can see the airplane. it will be flying around 3500 elevation. it will be flying over the golden gate bridge around 3:00 and over the bay bridge between 6:00 and 8:00 tonight. in the past, we have heard from the creators of this plane. one reason why they are doing this, not only to see if, "a," it can be done. it can be done over europe. they also wanted to try to inspire science to improve solar technology so you could, in kt f fact, have an airplane that would be able to do this in a commercial sense.

they are trying to inspire that. there, you have it. he is right now. burtrom is in the cockpit. they are going to do some pre-flight measures. four electric motors. less horsepower in this airplane than there is in a vespa scooter. it explains why it can only travel ruffle 40 miloughly 40 m. it will fly without expending one drop of fuel. it relies completely on the sun. it will be heading in a north therl direction ov northerly direction toward the water. 3:00, over the bay bridge. 6:00 to 8:00 -- i'm sure. 3:00, over the golden gate bridge. 6:00 to 8:00, over the bay bridge. reporting live on the beautiful

runway, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> that is pretty cool. sunny today. what about the visibility? pretty good for that? >> that is one of the places not seeing too much wind. clear skies and warm temperatures. still plenty nice. a little further south to san jose. you are looking at the pretty sunrise view off to the east. clear skies in san jose. interesting temperatures this morning as we are seeing a battle between two different types of air, dry air coming in from the north bay and into the east bay hills with some north winds and coom marine air trying to work its way up the coast. we have some fog, mainly south of san francisco down towards santa cruz. inland, gusty winds around fairfield and napa really bringing in this dryer air. as it drops in elevation, it warms up and dries out. we call it compressional warming. you can see what it has done to the humidity levels. vastly different from in the teens which would be high fire

danger, let's say, about two or three weeks from now as things continue to dry out in the hills. in the morning, typically, you can see out towards oakland and san jose, not too bad in terms of the humidity. very dry in the hill tops. locally, windy inland i should say. coastal fog. 70s and 80s out around the bay. mid-80s inland. more cooling as the sea breeze is going to win the battle between the north winds and those southerly winds coming up the coast this afternoon. high today, away from the 90s. 80s inland near san jose south. low to mid-80s for highs. 85, pleasanton. 70s back over toward the east bay. 72, san francisco. later today, we'll watch for the low clouds trying to move in from the golden gate or under the golden gate as we head into tonight. all signs reporting to a cooler forecast. much cooler by the time we get to thursday and friday.

we were 90 in some spots yesterday. >> here is what i'm noticing. yesterday and today, we have seen traffic start about the typical time and not kick in until much later in the morning commute. that's what we are seeing. two days doesn't really make a strong pattern. that's what we are seeing right now. north 101 from 680 up towards 880 still. the worst of the slowing. a shark's game versus the dallas stars. we are talking about the morning traffic in the evening at 7:00 p.m. a smooth flow of traffic for the freeways. one incident reporting roadway hazard, 280 at the lawrence expressway. lawrence expressway and down that expressway, showing a little bit of slowing for the larger surface streets. a nice, smooth, south bay flow right now. as we take you to some slowing, 580 continue to build. it is holding pretty steady over

the last 20 minutes. no problems at the dublin interchange. the earlier hit and run sounds like it is not causing a problem. we don't see the censors slowing at all. 84 continues to build here. 680 starts to slow down. a good, strong build through pleasanton in towards fremont for that south 680 commute. oakland, lighter volume of traffic. this is north past the coliseum. there are no incidents or roadblocks or any closures to cause any slowing coming northbound. that's the volume heading north past high street. at the limit for 580 and 880. we saw the toll plaza backup there. for us that don't always travel through there in the south bay, we have a smooth drive in. the bay bridge toll plaza looks horrible. the east shore freeway is still moving smoothly. look at all this spacing coming off that bridge. the bridge itself over from the north bay, no problem.

a look at south 101 through san rafael. we are starting to see a little more build. some slowing through petaluma, guys. that's good. >> i like your excitement over spacing. that's good traveling. about this time every day, i get kind of hungry. a new hand-scooped treat at carls junior, blending pop tarts with ice-cream. >> the new hand scooped strawberry pop tart ice-cream sandwiches is being tested at a few carl's jr. restaurants. they did provide this picture but haven't said a lot more about it. >> it looks like it might be tough to fit that into the pop-tart toaster with the ice-cream in there. >> i don't think you would want to. >> 6:23. a local football team gets the hollywood treatment. the new details about which

>> it is an excuse for not doing a bill or delaying it many months or years. >> i never said that. >> and whether the fbi should have followed up after russia targeted the older brother as a possible terrorist. >> if the russians told us about this guy being a radical islamist in 2011, how could we have missed it? >> i think it is premature for any of my colleagues or myself to conclude that the fbi dropped the ball. >> dzhokhar tsarnaev faces two charges. >> are there other bombers? are there other plots in motion? are there other confederates on the loose? >> he reportedly told investigators he and his brother acted alone and learned how to make bombs on the internet. a moment of silence remembering boston's day of terror. looking ahead, next job for prosecutors, they have to give a grand jury indictment and pull together all that evidence, laura. >> it will be so interesting to

escovel is reversing this policy. i did reach out to the department spokesperson this morning. i have heard back in a text message. i did get a response. he says that escovel is working with his command staff to address this issue. that's the response we received this morning. here is the thirng. simply the idea that controversial practices that could bring back racial profiling is upsetting to people. this includes curb sitting. the naacp says it is a form of humiliation that unfairly targets minorities. it was instituted by former chief, chris moore. he required officers to document all stops and note their race and whether they were told to sit on a curb. we spoke to the naacp president. he wants escovel to rethink his move. >> we have expectations of him and the department to come

around while we do not have a chief and put the plan back in its proper place. >> now, just as this is making waves, a bit of good news for the san jose's police department. the city's independent police auditor just released her annual findings on the department for 2012. she says complaints were down 7%. that includes fewer complaints of racial profiling. will the reversal inspire more complaints for 2013. judge ladoris cordell will present her findings on april 30g9. live in san jose, marla tallez, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. how about the weather, something to jump on. very nice out there. 6:46. a spectacular look out at san francisco. just gorgeous and clear out there. being told to maybe savor that warmup today. after today, it looks like it is on its way out. >> if you like it hot, today is

county prosecutors there say the list was witnesses that would have testified against bay. he was convicted of ordering the murders of three men, including journalist chauncey bailey that was writing a story about the bakery they believe would be unflattering. brown admits that she took notes from bay and hit them but believed they were love letters to a girlfriend and other notes to his mother. the note was then found in the car of a felon who then described himself as bay iv's number one soldier. brown agreed to a two-year suspension. the state supreme court stepped in an rejected that. today's trial will focus on what the appropriate punishment should actually be. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." san francisco is helping to foot the $9,000 bill to care for a pitbull mix that attacked a police horse. 2-year-old charlie, bit and chased a parked police hoarses
